Isolated reconstruction of medial patellofemoral ligament with an elastic femoral fixation leads to excellent clinical results.

Purpose: The primary objective was to compare the functional outcomes after an isolated MPFL reconstruction using either a quasi-anatomical technique (group A) or an anatomical MPFL reconstruction (group B). The secondary objectives were to compare the rates of redislocation, range-of-motion and subjective patellar instability (Smillie test).

Methods: A multicenter longitudinal prospective comparative study was performed.
